this dictée made me smile. It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :)
The see examples are written in English, not French, even in the test. It looks like this page needs editing!
As a paying customer of Kwiziq, I wish to be able to have a physical print out of the lessons I want to review. It's easier for me to read than from the computer screen.....
Not really related to the lesson at hand, but in the example, isn’t besoin supposed to be followed by de?
Les chaussures dont tu as besoin sont dans le placard
I found this really hard to follow. I had to repeat each section multiple times to try and figure out what was being said. The person speaks really fast and runs everything together, so words get swallowed in the elisons... I guess with more practice it will come, but maybe on the B2 end of B1?
Is there a mistake in the video at approximately the 1:08 mark? The example says:
Je mange une pomme and Tu *parle* à Marie. Shouldn't it be Tu *parles* à Marie?
C'est la plus rapide voiture du monde.
C'est la voiture la plus rapide du monde.
I answered with the second one, and after much thought, not the first. I asked a french speaking friend and she said the first sounded odd and she would not use it, although she didn't think it was wrong. Can you provide some guidelines?
Thanks
When can you use in past tense or
English: I knew who was invited, but I didn't know the other details.
French: Je savais qui était invité, mais je ne connaissais pas les autres détails.
I got this wrong. My thinking was that 'who' was a direct object and a person or persons, therefore connaître. I would have used connaître in the second part, again détails is the direct object, but I was influenced by my error in the first use of 'to know '; hence I chose savoir. Please explain why the first calls for savoir. Thanks.
